News: Ryanair to axe four routes from Dublin
Flights > News > # 2110 (17/03/2009)
Ryanair is scrapping flights to four destinations from Dublin this summer.
The no-frills airline will stop flights from Dublin to Basel, Doncaster Sheffield, Porto and Durham Tees Valley in July. The number of flights to eight other destinations including Aberdeen, Biarritz and Carcassonne will be reduced.
Ryanair claimed the decision was a reaction to the €10 tourist tax and a proposed increase in air traffic control charges. Michael O'Leary, Ryanair’s chief executive, described the increases as “impossible to justify” in a year when inflation will be negative. He added that the Irish carrier would announce further cuts to its winter schedule later in the year.
